Exhibition - Spyhopping: Adventures With Sue Chenoweth And The Permanent Collection

Part board game come to life, part art installation- this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth’s profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around. The installation will combine a new series of paintings by Chenoweth with a selection of works from SMoCA’s permanent collection. This delightful and innovative approach to showcasing the Museum’s permanent collection will transform the gallery into a world unto itself, a world in which artworks serve as windows into imaginative narrative possibilities.
